The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by one of the best racecards of the year to date anchored by a star-studded Breeders’ Cup prep, followed by the final racecard at one of the nation’s signature tracks.

On Saturday, June 27, Churchill Downs runs seven stakes races on the second-to-last day of its spring-summer meet, topped by the $2 million Stephen Foster Stakes. The Foster is a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic this fall, and drew a stellar field led by reigning Horse of the Year Sovereignty. Another Breeders’ Cup qualifier, the Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis Stakes (Longines Distaff) is also featured Saturday.

Then on Sunday, June 28, Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, N.Y., will conduct its final day of live racing after 132 years in operation. The “Big A” will shut down in advance of the September re-opening of a reconstructed Belmont Park on Long Island, which will take over Aqueduct’s spring-summer, fall, and winter dates. Sunday concludes the “Belmont at the Big A” meet that has been held annually since Belmont closed for an overhaul in 2023.
